Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of red yeast rice processing, and in particular to a red yeast rice fermentation rack. Background Technology

[0002] Red yeast rice is a traditional fermented product made from rice through fermentation with Monascus purpureus. It has unique color, flavor and health benefits. A red yeast rice fermentation rack is a support structure designed specifically for the red yeast rice fermentation process. Its core function is to provide a stable and suitable growth environment for Monascus purpureus to ensure the efficiency and uniformity of the red yeast rice fermentation process.

[0003] A red yeast rice fermentation rack, disclosed on the Chinese Patent Network (publication number CN217922042U), includes a support frame with a fermentation tray mounted on it. A motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the support frame, with the motor's output end rotating through the support frame and extending to the outside of the support frame. A rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the motor's output end, and a hexagonal slot is formed on the side of the rotating shaft near the fermentation tray. An inner slide is formed inside the fermentation tray. In this red yeast rice fermentation rack, the hexagonal connecting rod is reset by the elastic force of a spring, thereby allowing the hexagonal connecting rod to enter the interior of the hexagonal slot, thus fixing the fermentation tray. This facilitates the fixing and disassembly of the fermentation tray, reducing the difficulty of disassembling the fermentation tray, ensuring the stability of the fermentation tray in use, preventing the fermentation tray from detaching from the support frame, maximizing the safety of the device, and making it easy to fix the fermentation tray.

[0004] The solution also has the following problems: traditional fermentation racks mostly use open metal frames, which are prone to accumulating dust, fluff, insect carcasses and other impurities on the surface and shelves when used in the external environment, thus affecting the quality of fermentation. In addition, the fermentation rack in this solution does not adopt a multi-layer design, which is less practical. If used for large-scale fermentation, it will occupy a lot of space, thus having certain drawbacks.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this application provides a red yeast rice fermentation rack. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a red yeast rice fermentation rack to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A red yeast rice fermentation rack includes a box body. Several sets of through holes are opened on the outer sides and top of the box body. A detachable breathable filter membrane is provided inside each of the through holes. A support frame is installed on the inner bottom of the box body. A first upright plate is symmetrically installed on the two shorter edges of the top of the support frame. Several sets of inclined grooves are distributed vertically on the outer side of the first upright plate. A second upright plate is installed on the longer edge of the top of the support frame. Sliding grooves are symmetrically opened at both ends of the outer side of the second upright plate. A sliding rod is installed between the top and bottom of the inner side of the sliding groove. Several sets of sliders are installed vertically at equal intervals on the outer ring surface of the sliding rod. A fermentation rack is installed between the outer sides of the two sets of sliders. A cylindrical block is installed at both ends of the fermentation rack and inside the corresponding inclined groove. A limit frame is installed on the top of the fermentation rack. A fermentation tray is installed on the top of the fermentation rack and inside the limit frame.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the support frame has a groove, and a threaded rod is installed between the two ends of the inner side of the groove. A handle is installed at one end of the outer side of the support frame, and the shaft of the handle passes through the inside of the groove and is connected to one end of the threaded rod. The bottom of the second upright plate is provided with a protrusion that is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod, and the bottom of the second upright plate is slidably connected to the top of the support frame.

[0009] Preferably, when the second upright plate moves at the top of the support frame, it synchronously drives multiple sets of external fermentation racks to move. The cylindrical blocks at both ends of the fermentation rack slide inside the corresponding inclined grooves. The inclination angles of the inclined grooves are not consistent. The inclined groove in the middle is horizontal, and the inclination angles of the other inclined grooves gradually increase relative to the middle inclined groove.

[0010] Preferably, the outer ring surface of the slide bar is slidably connected to the inside of the slider, and when the cylindrical blocks at both ends of the fermentation rack slide inside the corresponding inclined groove, they simultaneously drive the external slider to slide on the corresponding slide bar.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall dimension of the limiting frame is adapted to the outer side dimension of the fermentation tray, and the inner wall of the limiting frame is slidably connected to the outer side of the fermentation tray.

[0012] Preferably, cavities are provided at both ends of the inner side walls of the limiting frame, and fixing ears are symmetrically installed at both ends of the inner side of the cavities. Copper plates are installed between the outer sides of the fixing ears, and hemispherical blocks are installed on the outer side of the copper plates. Hemispherical grooves are provided at both ends of the outer side walls of the fermentation tray, and the outer dimensions of the hemispherical blocks are adapted to the inner side wall dimensions of the hemispherical grooves.

[0013] Preferably, the box is equipped with lockable casters at the four corners of its bottom, and a door is installed on the outside of the box. A viewing window is embedded in the door, and a ventilation opening is provided in the viewing window.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the second vertical plate moves, the cylindrical blocks at both ends of the fermentation rack slide in the inclined groove, thereby adjusting the spacing of multiple sets of fermentation racks and moving them to the outside of the box, making it easy to pick up the fermentation tray. When the cylindrical blocks at both ends of the fermentation rack slide in the inclined groove, the slider slides synchronously on the sliding rod to maintain the stable trajectory of the fermentation rack. When the fermentation tray slides inside the limiting frame, its inner sidewall will squeeze the hemispherical block and the copper sheet will deform. When the fermentation tray slides completely into the inside of the limiting frame, the hemispherical block is just connected to the inside of the hemispherical groove and the copper sheet is reset, thereby fixing the fermentation tray on the fermentation rack and preventing the fermentation tray from sliding off the fermentation rack when the fermentation rack is moved to the outside of the box. It is convenient to operate and has better practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0028] A red yeast rice fermentation rack, as shown in the figure Figure 1 - Figure 6The container includes a box body 1. Several sets of through holes 101 are provided on the outer sides and top of the box body 1. A removable breathable filter membrane 102 is provided inside each of the through holes 101. A support frame 2 is installed on the inner bottom of the box body 1. A first upright plate 3 is symmetrically installed on the two shorter edges of the top of the support frame 2. Several sets of inclined grooves 301 are distributed vertically on the outer side of the first upright plate 3. A second upright plate 4 is installed on the longer edge of the top of the support frame 2. Sliding grooves 401 are symmetrically provided on both ends of the outer side of the second upright plate 4. A sliding rod 5 is installed between the top and bottom of the inner side of the sliding groove 401. Several sets of sliders 6 are installed vertically and at equal intervals on the outer ring surface of the sliding rod 5. A fermentation rack 7 is installed between the outer sides of the two sets of sliders 6. A cylindrical block 8 is installed at both ends of the fermentation rack 7 and inside the corresponding inclined groove 301. A limit frame 9 is installed on the top of the fermentation rack 7. A fermentation tray 10 is installed on the top of the fermentation rack 7 and inside the limit frame 9.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 The top of the support frame 2 has a groove 201. A threaded rod 11 is installed between the two ends of the inner side of the groove 201. A handle 12 is installed at one end of the outer side of the support frame 2. The shaft of the handle 12 passes through the inside of the groove 201 and is connected to one end of the threaded rod 11. The bottom of the second upright plate 4 is provided with a protrusion that is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod 11. The bottom of the second upright plate 4 is slidably connected to the top of the support frame 2. When the handle 12 is rotated, the shaft drives the threaded rod 11 to rotate. The threaded transmission pushes the second upright plate 4 to move horizontally. As the second upright plate 4 continues to move, multiple sets of fermentation racks 7 can be moved to the outside of the box 1.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 4 When the second upright plate 4 moves at the top of the support frame 2, it simultaneously drives the multiple sets of external fermentation racks 7 to move. The cylindrical blocks 8 at both ends of the fermentation rack 7 slide inside the corresponding inclined grooves 301. The inclination angles of the inclined grooves 301 are not consistent. The inclined groove 301 in the middle is horizontal, and the inclination angles of the other inclined grooves 301 gradually increase relative to the middle inclined groove 301. When the second upright plate 4 moves, the cylindrical blocks 8 at both ends of the fermentation rack 7 slide inside the inclined grooves 301, thereby adjusting the spacing of the multiple sets of fermentation racks 7 to facilitate the removal of the fermentation tray 10. The outer ring surface of the slide rod 5 is slidably connected to the inside of the slider 6. When the cylindrical blocks 8 at both ends of the fermentation rack 7 slide inside the corresponding inclined grooves 301, they simultaneously drive the external slider 6 to slide on the corresponding slide rod 5. When the cylindrical blocks 8 at both ends of the fermentation rack 7 slide inside the inclined grooves 301, the slider 6 slides simultaneously on the slide rod 5 to maintain the stable trajectory of the fermentation rack 7.

[0031] Reference Figure 5 - Figure 6The inner wall dimension of the limiting frame 9 is adapted to the outer side dimension of the fermentation tray 10, and the inner wall of the limiting frame 9 and the outer side of the fermentation tray 10 are slidably connected. The fermentation tray 10 slides along the inner wall of the limiting frame 9 for easy handling. Cavities 901 are opened at both ends of the inner two side walls of the limiting frame 9. Fixing ears 13 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the inner side of the cavity 901. Copper plates 14 are installed between the outer sides of the fixing ears 13. Hemispherical blocks 15 are installed on the outer sides of the copper plates 14. Cavities 901 are opened at both ends of the outer two side walls of the fermentation tray 10. A hemispherical groove 1001 is provided. The outer dimensions of the hemispherical block 15 are adapted to the inner wall dimensions of the hemispherical groove 1001. When the fermentation tray 10 slides inside the limiting frame 9, its inner wall will squeeze the hemispherical block 15 and the copper sheet 14 will deform. When the fermentation tray 10 slides completely into the inside of the limiting frame 9, the hemispherical block 15 is just connected to the inside of the hemispherical groove 1001 and the copper sheet 14 is reset, thereby fixing the fermentation tray 10 on the fermentation rack 7 and preventing the fermentation tray 10 from sliding off the fermentation rack 7 when the fermentation rack 7 moves to the outside of the box 1.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 Lockable casters 16 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the box 1. The box 1 is equipped with a door 17. A viewing window 18 is embedded in the door 17 and a ventilation opening is provided in the viewing window 18. The lockable casters 16 facilitate the flexible movement of the box 1. The locking function ensures the stability of the equipment during the fermentation process. The door 17 allows for real-time observation through the embedded viewing window 18. The ventilation opening design facilitates air circulation inside the box 1.

[0033] The implementation principle of a red yeast rice fermentation rack in this embodiment is as follows: When using the device, a detachable breathable filter membrane 102 is first installed to prevent bacteria-laden air from entering the interior during fermentation. When the handle 12 is turned, the shaft drives the threaded rod 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the second vertical plate 4 to move horizontally through the threaded transmission. As the second vertical plate 4 continues to move, multiple sets of fermentation racks 7 can be moved to the outside of the box 1. When the second vertical plate 4 moves, the cylindrical blocks 8 at both ends of the fermentation rack 7 slide in the inclined groove 301, thereby adjusting the spacing of multiple sets of fermentation racks 7 and moving them to the outside of the box 1 for easy access to the fermentation tray 10. When the cylindrical blocks 8 at both ends of the fermentation rack 7 slide in the inclined groove 301, the slider 6 slides synchronously on the sliding rod 5 to maintain the stability of the fermentation rack 7. The fermentation tray 10 slides along the inner wall of the limiting frame 9 for easy handling. When the fermentation tray 10 slides inside the limiting frame 9, its inner wall will press the hemispherical block 15 and the copper sheet 14 will deform. When the fermentation tray 10 slides completely into the inside of the limiting frame 9, the hemispherical block 15 is connected to the inside of the hemispherical groove 1001 and the copper sheet 14 is reset, thereby fixing the fermentation tray 10 on the fermentation rack 7 and preventing the fermentation tray 10 from sliding off the fermentation rack 7 when the fermentation rack 7 moves to the outside of the box 1. The box 1 ensures cleanliness during fermentation. The lockable casters 16 facilitate flexible movement of the box 1. The locking function ensures the stability of the equipment during fermentation. The box door 17 allows for real-time observation through the embedded viewing window 18. The ventilation design facilitates air circulation inside the box 1.
